Yunno, television exists because of commercials. All that TV shows try to do is keep you interested between commercials.
Ads in video games is nothing new and it will never catch on to the point of blatent advertizing, such as an actual break from gameplay to see an ad. What will happen is that we'll see huge ad campaigns over networked games. I heard that Coke wants to make a server for PC games, it's supposed to be cheap and easy to use but you're thrown in to Coke ad hell.
